Ostrogothic Kingdom (The Last Roman) Military Tier 13

Language of Comradeship

"By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand!"

Roman oration is one of its oldest and most cherished institutions. From the oratory in the Senate to famous battle speeches, it could cynically be said that Romans enjoyed the sound of their own voices. Yet oration served a nobler purpose than simple lip service; Emperors sought to frame themselves as warriors (for most later Emperors did fight), and of having kinship with their troops. Entreating the soldiers to 'allow' them and to give consent fostered a language of inclusion and of comradeship, establishing the idea that Imperial troops were the real strength behind Imperial power. The truth was that they were, and placating and harnessing this power was vital to a Roman Emperor's survival.
